Question/Theory: Release Every Week Good for Enhancing Testosterone

I'm not sure, but one orgasm a week seems healthy. As humans, we need sexual release, so I guess it could work.

 

This probably explains the flat-lining people experience while on nofap. Eventually you'll need to release and I think the fundamental part about nofap is that you do so within the comforts of a loving embrace from a significant other instead of just pictures of other people fucking. Releasing is great, but releasing by yourself has some serious long-term consequences akin to brainwashing.

 

I should also mention that masturbating maybe once a week would be okay, but NoFap is specifically for people who have turned it into something habitual to the point where there are hormone imbalances and the result of that is living a subjectively sub-par lifestyle. So we're talking about people jacking it every single day, multiple times a day, even past exhaustion sometimes.

 

A peak of testosterone is guaranteed after a week indeed, and then just returns to normal but, androgen receptors, which recieve the testosterone and use it for, stuff (hair growth and such) increase as you abstain from orgasm. So the testosterone that you have get's used more efficiently.

 

If you're in a committed relationship and not having sex, then it's a friendship and nothing more. If you are in a relationship and a girl isn't sleeping with you, then she's using you for non sexual favours, phone calls, tell you her problems what ever and sleeping with someone else. If there is no sex there is no relationship unless you are a strict Christian or Muslim which you shouldn't be because those ancient myths should not be directing and controlling our lives in 2018 or even in 1950. What I'm trying to get at is of course you wanna have sex, sex is very good for testosterone so you can have a lot of it but not too much. Every day I am not sure but I don't think its too much. Also having sex with multiple women may do even more for your testosterone. There is nothing wrong with dating a lot of girls and having many sexual partners until you are ready to commit to that one girl. But I tell you what, no girl is looking for one guy, most girls want casual flings, so I would be screening to see if you wanna see her again rather than is she "the one". Having that mindset will make you more attractive as well, and wont scare her off either. Girls take time to choose Mr right so if you latch on too quick as she's the one she'll get scared off and see you as needy. A girl shouldn't know how much you like her. She should be working for your validation.

I've been interested in increasing my test since that other thread and it looks like its been working. I pretty much changed my diet mainly.

Tuna 3 times a week
Salmon 4 times (its a small serve and cost $13 a week)
4 brazil nuts daily
Daily yogurt
2-3 eggs a day
Half an avocado
Table spoon of coconut oil in the morning

Tell you the truth it hasn't even been half that good but it will be starting tomorrow. They are just some things I incorporated.

Potatos as well, and I will start eating colliflower and broccoli daily as well.

Past couple days I been eating 3 eggs, half an avocado and other junk, and less than a week ago I got a small pimple on my face. It doesn't look bad and is a very good sign. I just jacked off now and the last fap I noticed a slightly better erection and todays was even better. I'm now going to go 100 days NoFap and 100% no porn.

Change your diet man, google it, dead lift, squat, and it will increase. You take 3000 IU vitamin D, Boron and 675mg Ashwagandha. I'm looking at this as a long term thing, I'm 38 myself and I wanna increase my test and I tell you what so far so good. I definitely get the nocturnal erections too.

Just with the diet you need to count calories so you don't tip the scale with all those fats. I've done that and it can take some time and effort. Make yourself a base and then you can count up your dinners one day at a time.

I'm going to go grab some red grapes to snack on now. I haven't worked out how to add that to my diet though, don't know the calories so will see. I've got my calories on point but I also burn a lot with exercise so I should be losing weight. Fingers crossed.

 

Wish I could give you an award as this is the only right thing I have read in this thread so far.

 

But why wouldn't you ejaculate? Sex is good for testosterone, it increases it. You also want to be careful not to get prostitis doing that. And for me, not blowing my load would feel frustrating, Id probably releases it later on by myself.

Do you have any sources for this optimal sex for your age thing you speak of?

 

if abstaining from PM makes no sense to you, then you shouldn't even be here in these forums!

 

I can't get with this, not blowing your load with a lady. No can do.

 

No we don't. Dalai Lama has been fine without that for 83 years, so has many monks. My personal record is 142 days of NoFap on hard mode.

Unless you're masturbating over 20 times per day, you're not using up all the sperm your body produces for you. There are natural systems in place in our bodies for recycling unused sperm. That's a natural process taken care of by our bodies, we do not need to ejaculate.

Regarding the study about an increase of testosterone after a week of sexual abstinence, I don't think that has been peer reviewed or replicated properly enough to be taken with certainty. I'm not sure, but I've heard Gary Wilson talking skeptically about that study and others.

In my opinion, not fapping at all, ever, is the best path. I also find it easier to draw a line in the sand and have a clear guideline.

 

I think all the people posting on the Success Stories section about the benefits they see after months off PMO makes it worthwhile to at least abstain for a serious period and then decide on how to progress.
I see quite a few people making up reasons to justify their desire to release, and I find myself doing it also.
